And my background check for my new job was completed yesterday. All set to start work soon for first time in 10 months.

Getting used to my dentures now. Life changing on so many levels for me.

First race of my 2 race season, upcoming on Saturday. 15km with 300m mountain to go up and down. 5 more Saturday's to the main 46km with 1750m elevation up and down. That's a real challenge. Its great for my mental clarity and brain fog. Fitness is a bonus.

Hello @₿en Wehrman . Hope your having a nice day. Took your advice from @BTC Prague 2025 chat and decided on dentures. Also started eating ground beef a lot with eggs scrambled in the pan together. Finally came true on Thursday.

So now. With the dentures, daily change of the fixodent paste is needed. Least on my travels. I can take the case. But these long distance trail races, just have the tube.

The life of dentures. This morning in the cafe having coffee + scone, bottom dentures became loose. Checked advice, said daily change. My dentist said leave them in until uncomfortable. The dentures use fixodent paste, for adhesive for the dentures. Rushed to the chemist and bought another tube. Inexpensive, but I use about 10-15% of the tube every application. Off on the trails today. 23km with 750m elevation. Small 15km race in 2 weekends now. Main 46km race in 7 weeks.

Now adjusting to having a full set of dentures in my mouth. Learning to chew food again. A blessing. The dark days are over. Adjustment period, less space in my mouth for the food to swallow. Appears that way, since I'm not used to them. Slept well with them in.

Today is the day I've been long waiting for. It is all coming together for a fresh start. All those dark days. All that pain. All those hours in the dentist chair. It's all come to this. From no teeth, and just the ground down roots left. Unable to chew my food. Only able to cut up my food into swallowing chunks. Let me tell you - no more! My mental health is clear. No more brain fog. Fitter than ever thanks to running in my mid life. Carnivore changed my life. Bitcoin saved my life. I'm now similing for the first time since before 2009. A moment change. Stopped gambling in 2017. Found Bitcoin for the final time months later. This is the moment I've been waiting for. First smile since 2009. New life begins.

3 weeks to my first race of the year. 15km mountain run. Followed by my main race in 8 weeks, a tough 46km mountain race. Mental clarity. Zero brain fog. Lower weight. Thanks to running.

On top of that. Accepted job offer. Background check first, then contracts. Shouldn't be a problem. Finally, back into work. New town too, excited. Everything all falling together all at once. My life gets a new start. And paid off the bill for the Dentures - thanks to Bitcoin

Thursday upcoming, I pick up the Dentures. Full set of teeth. Life changing. I'll have to adapt. Since my tongue is used to the front of my mouth. To change to the back of my mouth. Can't wait now.....Oh my

On Tuesday I was back at the dentist. I saw the actual dentures, and they were put in my mouth. First time in over 15 years, I smiled with teeth showing. However couldn't talk properly due to the dentures roof being wax. Just to test. They will go back to the lab to complete and finish the dentures with my unique mould. Back in three weeks to finally pick with the actual and final dentures. Brought a tear to my eyes. The end of a long long road to redemption.

Away in a different city for a day. Just ordered and vanquished at a restaurant; 6 Oysters 8oz sirloin steak 8oz burger cheese bacon Salt + pepper to taste Water to drink. Left alone the sides. ......... At home, eating 500g ground beef 6 eggs scrambled in the ground beef, ground beef organ seasoning to taste. Electrolyte water to drink, with hot cup of bone broth after. Satisfying.

My latest dentist appointment on the road to full dentures was yesterday. Had the roof of the dentures, but wax in place of teeth. Did a few adjustments. Sending back my cast and the wax bit. Next appointment full dentures will be ready, but still in adjustment stage. Coming to the end, full circle.

Over the last three weeks I've had stomach issues due to eating carbs and sugar. Affected me on my runs. Decided after all this on the eve of changing to Carnivore, that I will now switch to Strict Carnivore. Big weekend, away playing poker all weekend. Taking electrolytes and bone broth powder with me. Forgot my beef biltong snacks, in a rush this mornings. Taking my full running gear + vest with me. Not skipping my two long runs of the week. Mapped out the two routes, pan flat to get the kilometres in.

Jumping from 15km trail race into 46km trail race 4 weeks difference. I ran 48km two weeks ago, so I'm almost ready for it. Sundays long run will be 20km - longest I've ran. Will build up to 30-35km for a like ng run, and the weekly total will be around 60km. The 46km race is end of September. 15 weeks to go. Been in training for 5 weeks already.

For all my talking, I don't do it or finish it. Just purchased a ticket for 46km trail race. No going back now.

My running progress so far. Week 0: 15km - half a week Week 1: 30km Week 2: 38km Week 3: 48km Week 4: 37km - down week Upto date. Aiming for 45km to 50km to run this week. 7km ran today to get me started.

Snagged 3 doughnuts, sugary, but needed a snack

Plate is bare, since I just ordered rib eye steak. They flavoured the steak, that's fair. Just what I needed.
